Time to get BUSY!

I have my CTMH open house in just two short days and I've been so busy with the L.O.A.D. challenge that I haven't been making much in the way of other goodies to show off. Today I focused more on that.

I didn't get a 2-page layout done :( However, I did do this one. It's one of the make n takes for my open house. It's 8X10 so it can go in a frame or be used as part of a larger layout.

Here are a few cards I made with various new papers and stamps:

First Card--Silhouette papers and Make It Count Stamps--saw one similar on the CTMH board (don't remember who)Second: Heartfelt and Playful Flourishes stamps--this design is lifted from one in the catalog

First card: Make it Count stamps and Good Times papersSecond: Eastertime and Happy Birthday stamps--wanted to show it as something other than Easter

This last one is with the January Stamp of the Month, Eastertime. This will be another of the make n takes. I have to thank Kathi for the inspiration on this one--I tweaked it a little, but not much.

Now tomorrow I have more cards to make and I need to go find plates and tablecloths. Plus I want to make one more Serendipity layout. Austin has his first basketball practice tomorrow night, so it should be a very busy day! I may get some sleep tomorrow--LOL!

Remember if you are local, stop by Friday between 2:30 and 7 pm for My "Black Tie Open House". I am planning 3 make n takes, lots of samples, food, prizes, and goodies for everyone in attendance!

These are all so pretty, Nic! Wishing you lots of luck with your Open House. I don't know of any CTMH demos around here, but I really enjoy seeing what you do with your stamps and papers. They are all so pretty. I love the idea of making your page 8 x 10 to incorporate it into a frame. Terrific idea, and great pic btw! :) Kelly
